Your experience has been an incomplete one. Ask yourself if your desire to inflict shame is because they deserve to be punished or because you deserve to do some punishing. Neither is good, but it may help you figure out why punitive measures seem acceptable when education and allyship are options

I think you’re being a little dramatic. They can take what I say with a grain of salt. I’m not in a position of power here.

Wouldn't be me without a bit of melodrama ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You don't need to be. You can just be a friend to a stranger who happens to not know something you know.

If I were to post something untrue, and incite a bunch of misplaced hatred towards the subject, while also seeing I was misled from other replies, and not correct the record, I’d deserve a little shaming.

No, you wouldnt. Mistakes and easy-to-correct shortsighted decisions don't inherently warrant punishment.
